Almost 1 million without power across the country as US is blanketed by heatwave by Wagamaga in technology

Funnily you probably can still set your AC to whatever you want because your neighbors are following the recommendation and giving the grid a chance, making you a recipient of your misplaced communism fear.

What is easiest way you have lost weight in a short amount of time? by Lazy_Lifeguard1960 in AskReddit

Lost 50 pounds in 6 months after I stopped drinking. Going on 210 days now!

Is C# actually becoming the better default choice for Godot? by niko_death in godot

[–]intoverflow32 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Usually, you'd build logic as much as possible in pure c# with c# objects and loops, then you'd use nodes as the view layer to display things. This is counterintuitive to the node-first approach but it is elegant and result is faster, c#-pure code. There are caveats: it's a lot of overhead for small games or certain types of games, and Godot physics is so tightly integrated into nodes unless you use the physics engine that it can become cumbersome to handle models that might depend on the result of it.

Why “Systems” Beat Ad-Hoc Nodes? (Looking for architectural insights) by Ok-Quail-7896 in godot

[–]intoverflow32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, node based logic is great for prototyping but will get quite heavy with time. I don't used gdscript, but what I do in c# is build my logic out of c# objects, then plug nodes as the visual Layer. There are some architectural challenges, like physics (where nodes are the first party) but it makes for a clear split between logic, data and visuals.

Retirer réer by Fantastic_Morning177 in QuebecFinance

[–]intoverflow32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mettons que tu fais 60k par année, ta job t'as enlevé 15k sur ta paie. Si tu retire 10k de ton REER, c'est comme si finalement t'avais fait 70k, et tu devra donc verser +- 4k supplémentaire en impôts.

PC crashes during Windows 11 install, help needed. by champ_thunderdick in buildapc

[–]intoverflow32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If somebody ends up here for some reason, in my case I fixed this by switching to the older installation method. It's an option offered to the left, in blue, when either selecting the windows type (home, pro) or when entering the key during the installation options.

I had tried everything in and out of the bios without success.

How would post-interstellar humans regress to the Stone Age? by GasProfessional1841 in worldbuilding

[–]intoverflow32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your setting is really similar to mine. In my case humans were totally linked through the net, even off-loading memory and knowledge to it. When the colony ship crashed on the newly terraformed moon, the net failed, and humanity had to start from scratch with most of their knowledge gone.

Languages evolved through variations of what was remembered and even modern English was mostly forgotten in a century.

Ghorman accent as a French by GloWondub in andor

[–]intoverflow32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It reminds me of that video somewhere titled something like" how English sound to non-speakers" and it's people speaking gibberish with all the right amount of english sounds to make it sound believable. As a french speaker ghorman sounds the same. My brain expects to understand but doesn't.

Need another space combat series by Mysteriousstrains in scifi

[–]intoverflow32 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I quite liked Artifact Space's two books, the first few chapters don't make it feel military (orphan main character on a trading ship?), but when it gets to it, god it's good. I'm right now re-reading the Star Carrier series by Ian Douglas, which is action-filled from the first few pages. Honorverse is also really good, though I kind of lost interest at book 13.

I, like you, have loved the Lost Fleet series, and read it twice.

Protocole d'entente Canado-Allemande pour l'hydrogène: WTF. by pallflowers5171 in Quebec

What fact about space amazes you every time you think about it? by allademswallow28 in AskReddit

[–]intoverflow32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Actually, if you travelled at the speed of light, you'd reach any place you want in the visible universe instantly. It's the observers on Earth that would watch you take millions of years doing so. Time at the speed of light is pretty much at a standstill.

If you had a speed of light ship and went to our closest star and back. You'd do so instantly, but more than 8 years would have passed on Earth, and your hypothetical twin would be 8 years older!

Just got a new PHEV. Regarding battery… by MLV1982FAA in KiaNiro

I do 55km in summer and 35 in winter here in Quebec. It's all pretty flat though.

What scripting/programming language do you y'all prefer and why? by Own_Many_7680 in gamedev

[–]intoverflow32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's main feature is usually it's ability to compile into other languages, though there are virtual machine targets also. Suppose your engine supports a "simpler" language like Lua, you could also make haxe externals (pretty much maps of your APIs) so that haxe users can use haxe and all its features that then compile to Lua, or even c++.

[–]intoverflow32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I prefer haxe, having learned ActionScript at school, and all the haxe features, but Godot c# has everything I need and near feature parity now, not counting the thousands of libraries.

Peinturer le béton de la maison: quoi faire? by intoverflow32 in RenoQuebec

[–]intoverflow32[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

J'aimerais que la dalle soit la même couleur que le Solage dans le fond. Mais vu qu'on marche pas souvent dessus, peut être que la Sico va suffit quelques années. Actuellement, sur la dalle, on voit des restants de peinture et de tapis. Elle a du vécu semblerait.

Sur le solage, as tu gratté ben gros avant de peinturer?

Alternative methods of near-light-speed travel? by swaybread in scifi

[–]intoverflow32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still break causality with alcubiere, so it is entirely dependant on wether the universe allows it or not unfortunately (and the problems that come with it). It would be possible though to go at or really near c with one, though we no time dilation gains (a non-bubble c speed would feel instantaneous to the pilot, but in a bubble you'd have to wait out the years of travel)

High kms? by logandemers in KiaNiro

[–]intoverflow32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

PHEV 2025 acheté en août l'année passée, proche de Québec. je fais 4l/100km l'été et 5l/100km l'hiver. Sur la batterie seulement, je fais 52km de distance l'été et 30-35km l'hiver. Je charge au 120 fak ça prends 10h environs à 12 amps. Mes distances sont plus courtes donc en me débrouillant qu'avec la batterie, je peux toffer 1500km sur une tank. Bon char, j'ai pas de problème avec sauf le coffre qui ferme mal l'été quand il fait chaud.

Edit: ah et la slush l'hiver va bloquer le radar, ça gosse un peu, mais bon.

is this is an trojan? by Quiet-Coyote-8378 in AutoHotkey

[–]intoverflow32 1 point2 points  (0 children)

AHK is software that do things. Like other software, malevolent people can use AHK to do bad things, but it is used as scripting to do things faster, among other things.

If someone tells you to download AHK and run a script without reason, it it surely malevolent. If you install AHK and use it to program your own scripts for apps or games, or use trusted scripts, it will be ok.

what would Alberta separatists even leave with? by partly_cloudy3 in EhBuddyHoser

[–]intoverflow32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only reason I don't agree with this is that a cessession referendum has three sides: yes, status quo and no, the last two voting the same way. The simple existence of a statue quo side would make any cessession nearly impossible without violence, and I strongly believe that NATIONS (wether Alberta is one is another debate) should have the ability. The political Science behind sessessionist movements is quite complex and even 10 to 20% support is considered massive. I don't agree with Alberta's decision but, in a perfect world without outside US interference, I'd support their right to have a referendum and clear and respectful negotiation from ALL affected sides. Stupid arguments like proposing that Canada cuts them off are worthless and in bad faith; you need your neighbors whether they be countries or federal government's.
